Linus can fuck right off, hes made it clear that his time has come and gone. We should all just move on and leave him to his delusions.
You didn't read the article, did you?
Linus likes AI, Linus can fuck off.
Torvalds has also declared “Linux is not one of those anti-AI projects,” and therefore all-but-welcomed machine-made contributions to the project.
You and anyone else are free to fork — if there's any significant support for this opinion from people who know what they're doing, something else will emerge.
Many don't mind too much because this isn't vibecoding, but rather raking the massive codebase for known types of bugs.
